The competition made so many mistakes going into the new generation it's not even funny. Complete suicide. We're back to PS2 domination.

Both of the competition will be terminated early and PS4 will dominate all by itself. In the long run the hardest competition towards PS4 will come from PC and tablets.

No and I don't think so.

 

I expect the Steamboxes to be a relatively niche thing, especially after the clusterfuck of announcements with overpriced, unatractive, sometimes unupgradable boxes.

Tablets, hmm. I don't think that the userbase who now own PS360 so probably around 100 million unique people to ditch console gaming for tablets as it is now. I don't expect tablets to become viable replacements for consoles in terms of games and streamlined hardware solutions during this console generation so 5-6 years. So yeah I think PS4 is safe until it will get good games and won't fail in the less important sections like apps OS and whatnot.

I wouldn't underestimate PC. Steam alone has 75 million active users and the advantage of PC? No need to reset the userbase to 0 every console generation. How long is it going to take PS4 to reach 75 million? And by that point Steam will be above 100 million active users. Even if Steam boxes are niche, that userbase is huge and growing.

Now that's just Steam. PC has a lot of other services with a whole lot of users too (gog.com, GMG, Origin etc.).
